Abstrakt: Zirconia-yttria (ZrO2-12 mol YO1.5) powders were prepared via an organic polymerized complex method that was based on the Pechini-type reaction route. A mixed solution of citric acid, ethylene glycol, and zirconium and yttrium ions were polymerized to form a transparent resin, which then became a black powder after charring at ?450°C. This product was used as a precursor for ZrO2-12 mol YO1.5. The formation of a metastable tetragonal (t´) phase with compositional homogeneity occurred when the precursor was heated at the rate of 10°Cmin up to a temperature >560°C. X-ray diffraction peaks became sharp with an increase in the heat-treatment temperature. A t´-form with cell parameters of a 5.1265(6) Å and c 5.1559(9) Å were obtained via heat treatment up to 1400°C. This study shows that the organic polymerized complex method is effective for obtaining the compositionally homogeneous metastable t´-form in the ZrO2-YO1.5system for short annealing times at relatively lower temperatures.
